Small Angel Girl 'Jackie'

Basic Skills Necessary:

crochet around a plastic ring

Pattern Description:

Please note- this is the older version of this pattern!

Please see new version which is now available. Patterns for Jack and his sister Jackie have been combined, reformatted, and updated and will now be sold as a combined set. http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/home-decor/small-shell-stitch-angels/66379

This pattern includes 2 head versions, one with a ring and one 'solid head'. While the example and instructions use size 5 crochet thread, size 3 thread or sport weight yarn works equally well- just change the size of your plastic ring to 1 inch and adjust your hook size accordingly.

My mother loves to decorate her Christmas tree with my handcrafted snowflakes and tiny crocheted angels. I couldn't find exactly the design I was looking for anywhere so I designed a new pattern combining the best aspects of several others I have made over the years. Jack was then subsequently designed as a memorial angel for a precious baby.

Hello- I have no control over who pins what to pinterest or what they say when they pin, especially that pin with the # sign- i never use that- it wasn't me!... My original pin said this was to be free for a limited time only- which it was, and those who pinned it later should have kept that original description but obviously they didn't. sorry for any misunderstanding, but there is no cause to be rude to me for postings which I have no control over. My price for this pattern is quite fair.

Cara, You did a lovely job designing this and if others realized what it takes to set down and design a pattern and then write it up for others to understand, they will gladly pay a small fee for it. Smile - because this will be enjoyed by many!

Thank you so much sweetie! I did quite a bit of research trying to find a pattern a wanted, so I know the prices being charged for these things. Quite a few have already purchased it, and even if nobody else does it won't really bother me. No disprespect intended, but if someone can find what they want for free- go for it! All I know is I wasn't finding what I wanted so I designed this originally for myself, but I was so pleased with how the angel came out that I thought I should make it available to others too!

Have you made this pattern?

~Heritage Heartcraft, heirloom quality thread crochet by Cara Louise~

I have been crocheting since about 1974 at age 8 when my mother taught me with regular yarn and larger crochet hooks. A year or so later, she found a bag that had been her mother's which contained some gorgeous doilies her mother had made, along with some skinny crochet thread and some impossibly small steel crochet hooks.

I fell in love on the spot, created my very first doily without any pattern by copying one of hers, using her hooks and her thread. I have been designing and crafting small articles such as doilies, coasters, snowflakes and angels ever since! (Although I do confess to using patterns too!) Every time I make something I feel a kinship with the grandmother I was never able to meet, and so her spirit is alive in me- all these years later, and still use her hooks, which are now over 60 years old!
